There was no second print published by Warren. That is incorrect.

I collected a few of the Eerie #1 threads I participated in and linked them here.

Eerie #1 Thread, some good info here.

Scanned Issue For Browsing and or duplication thread.

Eerie #1 Thread....

There are several threads (very old ones now) on the mag board discussing this issue.

Without a provenance you will never prove beyond a doubt the items authenticity.

Great info, thanks!

I like researching that sort of thing.

Found a few original copies of the book on Amazon as well (starting in the $150 range).

The satire from which that picture came.

from the article.....

Hett theorizes that the image’s association with worry (as in Alfred’s motto, “What Me Worry?”) dates to a 1911 book, Wurra-Wurra: A Legend of Saint Patrick at Tara, a satirical tale of how the Irish joined worry societies at which they prayed to their Wurra-Wurra god. Irish immigrants often muttered something that sounded like “wurra-wurra” but actually was a Gaelic plea to the Blessed Virgin Mary, he said.

It's a joke. The face predates Mad and was used to portray insufficiently_thoughtful_persons and rubes since at least 1908.

My current collecting focus...

Sweet EQ's (thumbs u

definitely.

I may have to start collecting again for a few months.

Love the Doc.

Nice mag Bat.

I've had this one for longer than a week, but I just scanned it in for the first time this week and felt like sharing

 

are you a dentist, otherwise

I don't believe so. CGC turns a blind eye on any "defect" that was directly related to manufacture.

Would that include creased cover stock from when it was spooled up in those monstrously heavy rolls?

"There's a board in Daddy's arm were all the money goes"

Great John Prine song.

Thanks Eggs for introducing me to Rand Holmes. Went out and purchased myself a lil addition to my comic illustrator library.

So errrr, where does Hal keep Ch'p when he's not out stuffin his cheeks with nuts?

I like that someone wrote D-I-C-K on superman's column. Course I'm a R-.

Anymore scans of pages?

Hmm, actually, I think it should be to the right of Frazetta's signature... (thumbs u

(sorry don't have a scan of it yet with Frank's signature, maybe in a few days)

 

3 sigs on the file copy (thank goodness there is no one else to sign it, running out of room)

 

Warren Frazetta Davis

 

people would come from miles around to see it...

If you put it in as religious shrine-like stting I will make a pilgrimage to it.

Ian! Didn't realize you were posting here again. How's your Dr.Who effort going?

(thumbs u

If I dont get it posted tonight I will by the end of the weekend. I need to revise the javascript to handle multiple stories within the same viewer. Right now it's limited to a single compilation.
